I'll leave this down to you to work out what she has seen to shock her so much...Maybe she's just seen a guinea pig or something for the first time after landing on earth.

The scan for this was really rubbish, but I was so happy with the detail on this, that I'm ploughing ahead anyway.

I tried to capture the emotion of shcok on her face- do ya think I succeeded? Anyway, the hand went wrong, coz I wanted to give her a long thin alien hand, but it ended up just looking like I don't know how to draw hands at all.

My favourite parts are her eye, and the mask-like think on her face. My sister says the best bit was the wall she was hiding behind. She wasn't being sarcastic.

This is probably my favourite in your gallery.I think she looks afraid.The detail you put into this is very good.Although if you added a little light shading around the eye and cheek it would add depth to her face.Keep up the great work and be sure to let me know when you post new work!!

Detail=shock. Good shock. Wow shock. Did you know if you tip your head to the left the pupil of her eye looks like another eye that half closed? Cool! I really like it. I like it all. The wall is great too. And the mask/tatoo rocks!

I must agree; I really love the wall too. All the detail makes the wall look great. It also fits well with the detail throughout the girl’s design. Perhaps a little more shading throughout would help create a more little more depth to her like you have done in her nails. Anyways, very nice!

:-) Natalie K. Tapley replies: "Yeah, i know i should try, but I'm so rubbish at shading and colouring unless its REALLY simple.Thanks!"

Hi Natalie!

This is really great! .. Love the details, the look, the concept...
I agree with what most of the other people have commented.. That it would look better with a bit more depth and shadows.. Although you could also ink it, and give it that wonderful black/white effect!! .. That would work really well as well!!2

:-) Natalie K. Tapley replies: "What a great idea...although I have never done that before and don't really know how. Thankyou for the lovely comment!"
